The Kid

F***ing idiot.

My name is Kevin. I was born

Croydon, South London.

It was in March 1993

a Wednesday, I think ...

when I decided to

suicide.

As a quick-thinking

entrepreneur I used my initiative.

And I gave myself a head start.

Based on a true story.

The Kid

Mother.

Not even try to ask.

Allowed Kevin to come out to play?

Get out and go get him.

Kevin, I am.

She said you can out

come to play.

Come on.

Loser, loser, loser ...

Is all right, Kevin?

Come on.

Kev.

Hey you, it's not a f***ing firm.

Go away. Go away.

Get out! Get out!

I let a fall.

Bum, bum!

Home sweet home.

Where the hell are you been?

I sat here all day in my uppie ...

while you all our money back

wasted in the pub.

I cannot f***ing bear!

Are you listening to me?

- Shut up!

A**hole! You're wasting all our money

in the f***ing pub.

You leave your family in this house are

and is rather small with pus.

Keep your cat! You

no, do you?

Why you with that little crazy.

Yes, old pervert.

What is wrong with you.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Is there anything apart from you?

Kevin!

Wake up, little lazy sucker!

Arise!

What is that?

What is that?

Have you peed in your bed again?

- Sorry.

Weather? Who should clean?

- It was an accident.

I'm going to f***ing do not clean up.

You go clean up?

Sorry.

- You'll be sorry damn!

Listen to me.

Stop!

- You will not tell me to stop!

Stop!

It hurts. Get off me!

Stop!

Kevin.

Kevin.

Why cannot you f***ing him

not alone?

He wet the bed again.

You want to go clean?

Have you seen how his face looks like?

Why do you always have?

You damn sensitive son.

Someone has him raising ...

Is everything OK?

- Yes.

Go on, get the hell out,

like you always do.

F***ing mess.

Kevin, come here.

Let me see.

It looks good.

Fresh yourself up and f*** off from school.

Do you have pain anywhere else?

I want a look, just to have

sure.

Do only your sweater and your shirt,

Good boy.

You know what? You can have him!

I want him anyway.

Is there something to see or something?

Are you the first time in a car?

- Yes.

I cannot send back home.

He is among the most experienced foster parents

been with him but no one can handle.

He is a bit shy.

Good God, he stabbed him!

Well, he has some problems.

This is my helmet.

Can we meet at least as

meet and talk?

Yarborough Orphanage

He is not at all to send.

If someone had too much affection show,

person he is.

F*** off! F*** off!

How old is he?

- Ten years.

They say he is like a wild animal.

- This is not surprising, right?

Hello.

- Hello.

Come on.

I do not think Kevin ...

misbehaved.

Because he is uncontrollable.

I think nobody has ever bothered

taken him to tell ...

how to behave.

Let's go inside.

Watch out for the Yucca Palm.

It is only

taught to school ...

and then locked up again

to be in his room.

Here we eat.

Here, we have a separate room.

This young man did nothing with

than hatred or violence.

F*** off! F*** off!

- How dare you say that to me.

He behaves as in

these new families ...

that because he never

level of freedom known ...

that a child of that age

normally has.

Does that mean that you accept him?

No.

We are full of.

I have no bed for him.

Hello!

You must be Kevin.

Can you call me Uncle David?

Will you do that?

Okay, come let me show you something.

This way.

It's okay!

I am afraid that all our beds occupied.

So why have we made for you.

It's like your own little cabin.

As in 'the Stig caveman ".

I know it's not a nice room,

it is until we find one for you.

How long will I stay here?

Well, I do not think there are plans

to send you someplace else.

We want you to stay here.

If you want to stay.

Yes, please.

Billy went to the ...

River

- River.

Use the edge of the knife

See?

That is the cutting area.

Like this.

It goes well.

Go on, go ahead.

Do not let go.

- Yes, I get a little loose.

Cut it on.

I let you go now!

- No!

Go on you have the address!

Keep going.

Put your teeth.

Come here.

Put your teeth.

Yeah, so.

Walk.

Come on.

Day!

"Stig looked down on them with

eyes wide open ...

picked them and admired them.

Of them in the light. "

"No, Stig", said Barney.

"You cannot have."

You baby, why are you crying?

I almost touched her.

- Watch this, this.

What are you doing?

Kevin rot.

- Yeah f*** off piece of gear.

Otherwise we do it for you.

Hey, she is crying.

Uncle David.

Come quick, they fight.

Her mother is fixed ugly.

How do you kiss your mother with that face?

Leave her alone.

Or what, Kev?

Why would you ...

I kill you!

- F*** you!

Kevin.

- Get off me.

Get off me!

- I put you down when you calm down.

Come on.

- Get off me!

I let you go later

if you're calmed down.

Let me out of here!

It was his fault, he began.

- No.

I will not let you out. No.

Not until you're calm. No.

I know what happened.

Why did not you warn me?

We'll be fine with Chris.

Happy.

Look at me.

I thought we were friends.

Look at me.

Look me up!

You need not be ashamed of yourself.

You are among friends here.

Nobody will hurt you.

Surprise!

For many years, the Lewis family is very

according to the Social Services.

Unlike my predecessors ...

I try to dissociate

Mrs. Lewis.

Which are very noisy in the household.

And so I encourage her more

independent.

Ms. Lewis also asked whether

Kevin can come back home.
